I've written multiple comments on her work, so I've collected them all into this chapter.
Love That Never Fades
About how past loves never go away...
********************
My crushes never know a thing,
'cos I know they won't return the feelings.
I keep it to myself, think I'll forget one day,
But they never go away, do they...
Silent Screams
About horrible life and the stupid people in it...
*********************
Life is unfair, unjust, unkind,
The people in it take whatever they find,
No mind for others, every man for himself,
Some with no outlet, drown in their own wealth.
When no one listens in this life so cruel,
This life where we're imprisoned in our own rules,
We start to break, crumpling from pain,
Darkness laughing as life starts to wane.
Try To Put Me Down
I think this one's obvious, enough...
********************
It's hard to stay up when you're beaten down,
I'll be thinking of your poem when I start to frown
Whenever this happens, I'll say to myself,
I'm beautiful me, not anything else.
The Skin You Wear
About the world's twisted idea of beauty...
***********************
Beauty is nothing to be concerned about,
It fades over time, in old age.
Instead, focus on what you give out;
That stays after you go away.
Louder Than Words
About how people need to learn how to express what they say through actions...
***********************
With abuse and overuse of words these days,
People forget that love is always
A powerful, potent, and dangerous word,
That if used, should be both felt and heard.
Stone Cold
About how people will try to ignore abuse...
**************************
I can't keep an unemotional face,
Though I try to laugh through all the hate.
I joke, I smile, but all along...
It's painful, bitter, and feels so wrong.
The Cut
About the turmoil inside when considering cutting to find release...
*************************
I've never cut, but I do understand,
I've used my nails, dug them into my hand.
It's hard to contain the feelings inside,
They threaten to break you, there's nowhere to hide.
Mistake
About looking back at past mistakes and wondering why you made them...
********************************
I remember my decision--two years ago.
Standing up for a girl I didn't know.
It ruined my reputation, my life,
My peers saying 'twas a moment of strife.
It made me hide, it made me angry,
The classmates were perpetually chasing,
I found out it caused more grief for the girl,
She was picked on more often than not, poor soul.
I'd been feeling sad, remorseful, a bit of pity,
A mistake, they say...but was it really?
Words Have Power
About how some people use words to hurt...
*****************************
You words are hurtful, tearing my mask,
Standing straight is a painful task,
Because of your words, so mean, so cruel,
They rip me apart, 'til you can see me soul.
Have you had enough? Do you still want to fight?
I never intended to face you tonight.
I didn't think you still wanted the thrill
Of hurting me, flying in for the kill,
But I know something, something you don't.
These words are the ones that you'll regret most.
Four Letter Word
About the word "love"...
*************************
In the same way, hate seems a simple word,
Sometimes used lightly, sometimes misunderstood.
It can tear lives apart in a moment, posthaste,
Burn couples to the ground before they get a taste
Of the love written here, so simple and lovely,
These are the words that should be used carefully.
